The High Court has offered directed the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) not to evict the 13 Matatu Sacco’s operating at petrol stations.
This will mean that the SACCOs will continue operating in various petrol stations across Nairobi until the petition seeking to stop the EPRA eviction notice is heard in court.
This was after the Sacco’s lawyer had argued that if evicted, the action could throw the industry into confusion, disrupt business, and threaten the livelihoods of thousands who rely on the stations as critical pick-up and drop-off points.
The court directed the legal teams for EPRA, the county government, the petrol stations and the SACCOs to converge and have a meeting within seven days and reach a resolution to avoid an impending crisis if the evictions are carried out.
The case will be heard on December 1, 2025.
